Pure Drinking Water.

Many cities have adopted, or are now
introducing, artificial filtration, and il is
to be hoped that some terrible epidemic
visitation will not be necessary TO impress
our authorities with the necessity for
some action on their part. Pending such
action, the following general directions,
if given publicity and insisted upon, may
be the means of saving many lives. Drink
no water that has not been previously
boiled. Do not put ice into the water
unless it is known to he pure. for the ice
may contain as many disease germs as
the water. The water should only be al
lowed to come to a boil when il should be
removed from the fire, for otherwise YOU
will expel the oxygen, which gives it an
unpleasant taste. After boiling it should
be placed in a stone jar and covered over;
when sufficiently cool it should be de.
canted into bottles and then put on ice,
1t is best to boil sufficient water each
morning 10 last during the day. II pos
sible TO avoid it, do not use water that
has come from a tank on top Of the
house. which is often a very hot bed Of
disease; far better to go 10 the basement
or yard, if YOU cannot otherwise get a di'
rect flow from the main.
If you have one Of the many fltering
water coolers that are on sale at every
housefurnishing store, throw it away,
but before doing so break it to pieces that
some other unfortunate does not get hold
Of it. Such devices. unless provision il
made for the entire removal and washing
of all the filtering material and unless
such operation is carried out every day
are filthy ~incubators for the propagation

The Wonderful .'Toddy Palm"

"When l was down in Washington
the other day." remarked a western poll
tician at the st. James, ''they showed me
a wonderful Indian palm in the botanical
gardens. They call it the caryota ureus,
and il cuts a bigger figure in the world
as an intoxicant than all the distilleries of
the United States. Just in proportion as
the followers of Brahma and Buddha in
India are far more numerous than the
Christian population of the United States,
in the same proportion does that palm
tree surpass all u appliances for llaking
an intoxicant. II is a beautiful tree,
with a trunk something over a foot in
diameter, grows TO the height of about
sixty feet, and is surmounted by m ele-
giant crown of gracefully curved leaves.
The flower spikes are ten OF twelve feet
long, and issue from the trunk at the
base Of the leaves, hanging down like q
horses tail. They are not produced TILL
the tree has arrived at its full period OF
growth, and the manner in which the
numerous spikes succeed each other is
rather singular. The first spike issues
from the top OF the tree, n after IL mas
done Towering another comes out below
it. and so on, a flower spike being pro-
duced from the angle of each leaf stalk,
or from the circular scar left by leaves
that have fallen away from the trunk,
until the process of Towering reaches the
ground, when the tree is exhausted and
dies.
The English in India gave it the
name Of teddy palm because they traced
a kinship between their old home toddy
and the juice Of the tree. The natives
work it in this fashion: When the spikes
are in the bud they cut them off, and the
sap that would have flowed into the bud
is caught by them in a gourd and used as
a liquor. It's very powerful and pro-
duces a fine crop Of delirium tremens in
India. They expect this oriental distil-
lery to flower some time this fall. Yes,
it's the only toddy palm in this country"

And other Matters for the Hopper of the

"Love letters? oh, yes, we come across
them quite often in our stock: but we

said a down town dealer in paper stock.
when people are leaving a house they
have lived in a good many years they
don't care to be bothered with old papers,
and they just sell them to us at SO much

magazines, or whatever it may be.

rived from a house up town-for we
always sort over in case there should
happen to be anything valuable-when a
monogram on a letter met my eye. l

that perhaps il might be something that
ought to be sent back. | glanced at the
letter, ard then ] saw what it was. 1t
was from a lady belonging 10 one of our
first families, SO called, to a well known
actor, who made a Juror in New York
quite o number Of years ago. The actor
had stopped In that house awhile, and
didn't seem % have thought the letters
worth taking with him, or perhaps he
forgot them. At any rate they came
down here in that bundle. an ocean Of
them. and some of them had not even
been opened, which shows how little
actors think of that kind of correspond

stock. No, | didn't keep one. 1t would

low; it has never been lower.
Those album covers: They come to us
at a price a little above waste paper. and
sometimes we get quite a good figure for
them. You see. the wholesale houses that

books from Washington, besides state

them to one side until the heap gets in
